PTI govt wasted funds on controversial projects: QWP leader

CHARSADDA: Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) leader and former senior minister Sikandar Hayat Khan Sherpao on Friday said the provincial government wasted public funds on useless and controversial projects.

He was addressing a gathering in Matta Union Council of the Shabqadar tehsil in Charsadda district.

A number of political workers announced joining the QWP on the occasion and reposed confidence in its leadership.

Criticising the government, Sikandar Sherpao said the traders and the general people were facing the consequences of the poor governance and bad economic policies.

He said the government increased the prices of electricity, gas and CNG which have compounded the miseries of the people. He said such steps would further erode the purchasing power of the common man.

The Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) leader said the reports of the Provincial Inspection Team, Project Management Unit and Auditor General of Pakistan had exposed irregularities in the so-called mega project Bus Rapid Transit.

“It has exposed the harbingers of change who have failed to implement the so-called agenda,” he said, adding the slogan of change was a ploy to reach the corridors of power.

Sikandar Sherpao said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government could not honour a single commitment made with the people and instead was taking steps to expose the people from the downtrodden segments of the society to more problems.
